It’s Great When Cosplay Goes Off The Beaten Path

You expect Final Fantasy cosplay. Ditto for Zelda, Assassin’s Creed and Halo. But Evil Within cosplay? That’s unexpected. And awesome. Kirito is Sebastian Castellanos, while Kasane is Leslie Withers. Photo by Higuchi. [The Evil Within]

An Army Of X-Men Cosplayers

Distractotronshot this video at DragonCon, getting as many X-Men (and villains) together in the one place as they could. It’s making me realise a live-action version of the 90s cartoon might not be the worst idea. (via Fashionably Geek)

Captain Harlock cosplay is best cosplay. Harlock is Faeryx13, Yama is ILairi and photo by adelhaid

Grumpy Old Artist Says Cosplay Brings “Nothing Of Value” To Cons

While cosplay is exploding in popularity, not everyone is cool with seeing hordes of people dressed up at conventions. Comic artist Pat Broderick is one such person. In a note left on his Facebook page, Broderick – who has worked on Batman and Micronauts – says: If you’re a Cosplay personality, please don’t send me…

Jack Sparrow Cosplay Bends Genders, Blows Minds

Alyson Tabbitha is one hell of a cosplayer. And yes, Alyson is a girl’s name. I know, Jack Sparrow is hardly the manliest man in pop culture, but still. This is one of the most convincing acts of crossplayI’ve ever seen. She’s been working on this outfit for around five years now, “touching up this…

The Best Cosplay From The World’s Biggest LAN Party

Dreamhack Winter isn’t just for games. When you get over 25,000 gamers in the one place, there’s plenty of scope for other stuff. Like a killer cosplay competition. These photos were taken by Jennika Ojala and Gabriel Kulig, while the video was shot by Liz “FrostedStarfish” Acume. If anyone knows/recognises the cosplayers, let us know…

She-Ra Cosplay!

My New Favorite Commander Shepard On The Citadel

Too often, Commander Shepard looks like a Dutch model. So for once, it’s nice to see him look like an Italian one instead. Cosplay superstar Leon Chiro built (and is modelling) this amazing replica of Shepard’s Dragon Age outfit, with photos by Vincent Sehu and Valentin Offner

RIP Justin Costello

Justin Costello, a prominent and well-loved figure in the Australian cosplay scene, has sadly passed away over the weekend. In addition to his own amazing personal work, Justin was also a member of Gotham’s Finest, a team that uses cosplay to help with things like fund-raising and visits to children’s hospitals. Justin is survived by…

Frozen Meets World Of Warcraft, The Cold Never Bothered Them Anyway

Frozen’s Elsa meets WoW’s Lich King. Well, in this case, Queen. Cosplay by Chubear, photo by Darshelle Stevens. I’m surprised it took someone this long to think of this!

Rocket Raccoon Cosplay Is Best In Galaxy

This Rocket Raccoon cosplay isn’t to scale. And that’s about the only thing I can find that’s wrong with it. It gets everything else right. The costume, the gear, even the “furry” aspect. It’s the work of Shoko and Jérôme Cosplay, whose Facebook page you should check out, because they’ve done a ton of other…

Master Chief’s Suit Is Made Of…Paper?

Photographer Sid Caesar took these photos of his buddy Phillip Friel wearing his Master Chief suit, and thought we’d like them because the suit is made out of paper Is it still papercraft if it’s life-size and wearable? Maybe it’s cospaper. Yeah, that’ll work.

Destiny Cosplayer Looks Like An Actual Robot

This Destiny outfit really nails the look (and movements) of the game’s Exos. Not only does it capture all their mechanical detail, but the mouth moves, as do the eyes (in addition to lighting up!). Cosplayer redner, aka Erik Barclay made it for this year’s New York Comic-Con. You can see more pics of it…

The Prince Of Persia. Well. Australia.

It’s weird that the best cosplay I’ve ever seen of this chesty, male character came from a lady. So here’s Melbourne-based Amirbringing some manly scowl to the beach (photos by Anna Fischer)

That’s some pretty literal baby Groot cosplay. [reddit]

All The Single Mutants, All The Single Mutants

I like this Wolverine. Instead of getting all mopey about losing Jean, he’s out there enjoying the single life.

The World’s Best Avengers Cosplay Only Includes One Human

Because someone needs to be in charge. Cosplayers are Omelette, Bebop, Barley, Twinkie & Lucy. Oh, and Omelette’s mum. Omelette the Corgi [Blog] The Corgi Avengers: There Should Be No Leashes on Us! [GaS]

Kid Dresses As Jawa, Steals Hearts, Not Droids

You know a costume is awesome when it lets you forgive someone for taking a video in portrait mode. Chris Hirano made this outfit for his daughter for Halloween, and in addition to looking great it also had some neat effects like a soundboard so she could shuffle around making authentic jawa noises. Whether she…

Krang Cosplay Is Perfect, Wins Halloween

From head-to-toe, the only way this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cosplay could have been any more authentic is if guimancreativehad stacked on 30 pounds. What I love is that it’s not just an amazing costume (and example of props work, given the fact Krang himself lights up), it’s brave. If I was going to cosplay…
